If you're not capable of researching on your own, I'm sure apple support would have been happy to answer these questions. It would have taken you 10 minutes to call in but now you've likely wasted 20 or 30 minutes complaining on a discussion forum.

The criteria for compatibility with AirPlay Mirroring is not processor-related. It requires that your Mac has a Thunderbolt port. The most likely explanation for this restriction is that it has something to do with DRM.

Note that AirPlay should continue to work from within iTunes, as it is has in the past, even for non-Thunderbolt Macs.

Genius, you should have done your research first before you downloaded ML because of airplay. Airplay only works on core i5/i7 Macs, it's all over the net. Stop whining and just enjoy what you purchased.

I based my purchase on that info. My 2010 MPB has a Core i7 and obviously does not support AirPlay.

All the info is out there, boys. Just because you didn't read it or made assumptions you shouldn't have made, isn't anyone's fault but your own. Look in the mirror if you want someone to blame.

The same BS has been going on for 2 years regarding Flash for iOS on the iPad. People buying new iPads complain endlessly about lack of Flash support, and that Apple didn't tell them. With a little research and careful reading, even a Luddite would know that iOS has never supported Flash.

If you can't admit Apple was underhanded in this matter, then you are blinding yourself/being a typical Apple fanboy "Apple cannot do wrong". Sure, somewhere they left the tidbits regarding what works and what doesn't in the new OS. The fact is they did this on purpose so majority of users wouldn't notice and they know a majority of users won't care. But some do and they are the ones voicing their anger in this thread.
